Why German High Command Couldn't Explain How Britain Read Their Secret Cipher

Discover the extraordinary true story of how Britain broke Germany's Enigma cipher during World War Two, one of the greatest intelligence achievements in history. In the spring of nineteen forty three, Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz watched his U-boats vanish across the Atlantic and demanded to know how the enemy always knew where his submarines would be, yet his experts insisted the Enigma machine was unbreakable. This documentary reveals the hidden truth behind that mystery: the brilliant Polish mathematicians who first cracked Enigma years before the war, the secret codebreakers of Bletchley Park, the genius of Alan Turing and Gordon Welchman and their code-breaking Bombe machine, the thousands of women who ran the operation in silence, and the daring capture of Enigma material from sinking submarines that turned the Battle of the Atlantic. Explore how Ultra intelligence shaped the war, why the German high command refused to believe their cipher had been compromised, and how the entire secret was kept for nearly thirty years. From the Polish Cipher Bureau to the huts of Bletchley Park, from Cape Matapan to the wolf packs of the North Atlantic, this is the full history of the codebreakers who read the enemy's mind and never told a soul. Watch to the end for the human cost behind the triumph, and share the names of family members who served so their memory lives on.
